Chapter 23: Cells

"Stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage."

Your body was tense as you stared down at the familiar face of the man you'd wronged, the mark on your hand seeming to pull you towards him.

You clenched your jaw, quickly becoming annoyed by what the mark was beginning to do to your body and mind.

"You know the captain?" Jimin snapped at the boy, his eyes peering down mercilessly. "You must, otherwise how could you know her name?"

"Aye." Bluebeard chimed in agreement, also staring down the raven-haired boy. "What business have ye with the Pirate Queen?"

You waved them away with your hands, afraid that their questioning would cause the young siren to spill the truth.

If he was honest with you that day on the beach, he couldn't lie... and letting them in on your insurance would be foolish of you.

"Leave us." You ordered. "I will speak with him alone."

Jimin's brows furrowed at your request, his eyes glancing upwards to your figure as he lowered his voice, his hand gently gripping your upper arm.

"I am certain of your capabilities," He started, "But are you certain that you wish to be alone with this man? His appearance is..."

He paused, his eyes scanning over the jewels that seemed to be embedded into the prisoner's skin.

"Odd." He finished, looking back at you.

You nodded your head, pulling your arm out of his grip, eyes narrowing slightly.

"I am certain." You confirmed. "Go and celebrate with the men. Have two capable warriors keeping watch, though. See to it that no man drinks more than one liter of alcohol. If we are pulled into another fight, they'll need to be sober."

Jimin chuckled.

"It may be a bit too late for some of them."

You sent him a hard look, causing him to raise his hands in mock surrender.

"Aye, captain." He chuckled, his fingers grabbing a small strand of your hair, feeling it's softness for a few moments. "I'll see to it that your orders are met with nothing but obedience."

You watched as he allowed your hair to fall from his grip, winking confidently before walking back to the upper deck of the ship, Taehyung following behind him.

Bluebeard gave you a concerned look as well, patting your shoulder as he made his way out.

"We'll be just a holler away, lass," He stated, glaring back at the younger man in the cell. "If you need us, call. Aye?"

You nodded your head, offering the man a soft smile of reassurance.

You listened as he made his way up the wooden stairs, the door slamming shut behind him, leaving you all alone with the newly transformed siren.

You let out a loud huff as you reached behind you, pulling a bucket from it's place against the wall, hands flipping it over as you took a seat upon it.

Jungkook watched you expectantly, his naked form shivering in the damp coolness of the brig as his large, blue orbs took you in.

You watched him for a few moments, sighing as you took in his pathetic state.

His eyes widened as he watched you strip yourself of the oversized coat you wore, pulling it off your shoulders before extending it through the iron bars of the cell, a look of pity covering your expression.
